Comments on: One of the advantages of working graveyard shift at Victoria’s CP roundhouse was ample time to try time exposure photography. As it was a lone worker situation until around 0600 when folks started showing up for their daytime shifts, and lighting in the shop was mine to control (and maintain with 200 Watt globes and a long pole), views of units at rest were frequent. On the next-to-last roll of film in a borrowed rangefinder camera before I purchased a Pentax Spotmatic, this view around 0500 PDT on Sunday 1972-05-14 with three Baldwin roadswitchers, CP 8005, 8002, and 8004 from left to right, in stalls 4, 3, and 2, shows what was normal when I started, but lasted only a few more years until the Baldwin roadswitchers were all shut down in March of 1975. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?
